When it comes to making fashion trends and styles your own, what can be better than putting your name on an outfit to officially make it yours? No, I am not talking about a brand logo but the timeless, yet modernized trend of monograms. A simple, yet effective way to embrace personalization and capture elegance, sporting a monogrammed accessory has certainly made a comeback into the wonderful world of fashion.

I love how this Fashionista tied her monogram into her preppy look by making it a focal point, yet assisting in its elegant, golden character by adding hues of gold with her other accessories. She complemented her monogram by pairing it with a tortoise chain necklace, which adds a lot of character to her look. Necklaces weren’t the only things this Fashionista was layering. She also chose to layer her arm with a gold Michael Kors watch and a gold bangle. Layering jewelry is an efficient way to mix and match your favorite pieces while really pulling a look together.

This Fashionista’s beautiful Tory Burch bag and gold Jack Rogers sandals continued to pull the look of elegance and grace together—not to mention the adorable scalloping on her minty fresh dress! All together, this Fashionista shows how to wear a monogram with grace.

How To: What’s great about the monogram trend is its versatility. The options are endless when it comes to personalizing your necklace, bag or bracelet. Proudly display who you are and put your name on it this summer with this timeless trend!
